Younger Looking Hands with Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Lots of women's beauty routines tend to focus on applying face creams and body lotions, but sometimes they forget about their hands, which is the part of the body that shows unwanted signs of ageing the fastest. Most women notice their hands looking older usually when they reach their 40's, but the signs of ageing skin can begin showing a lot earlier if they neglect to use sun protection in their younger years.

The skin on the back of the hands is naturally thin and as they're exposed to the weather throughout the seasons, they experience wind, rain, cold and worst of all excessive sun exposure. Too much sun on unprotected skin causes blemishes, pigmentation and can destroy the collagen and elastin in the skin. 

We start to see ageing in the hands, with things ranging from; wrinkles, liver spots, prominent veins and dry flaky skin, and whilst we all grow older, we don't want to feel that our hands look older than our face. Of course no matter what we do, our hands will age regardless, whether from loss of volume in the natural course of ageing, sun exposure or excessive immersion in water which can lead to dehydration.

Many things make hands look older;

Age spots

• Age spots are actually nothing to do with age, they are the result of sun exposure. Our hands are constantly exposed to the weather, and even if you've been meticulous with your sun screen applications, discoloration and sunspots will eventually appear. Prevention is always best, making it essential to use sun protection daily and remembering to reapply throughout the day. A professional chemical peel treatment will improve the skin tone, soften the skin, remove dead skin cells and take away brown spots.

Wrinkled skin

• Wrinkles are an obvious sign of growing older. The hands have very little fat, causing the skin to look paper-thin more quickly and giving the backs of the hands a crumpled look. Because they are often immersed in water, which contributes to dried out and wrinkling skin, the hands need more moisturising than the rest of the body. Professional laser treatments can promote collagen production, which will help plump up your skin.

Dry flaky skin

• Gentle exfoliation on flaky and dull hands can remove dead skin cells. With those dead cells gone, any moisturisers will be more easily absorbed. Exfoliating the skin with a professional microdermabrasion treatment will remove dead skin cells and your skin will feel softer and look brighter, and will also help to even out the skin tone.

Stained Nails

• If your hands are starting to look their age, you don't want to have discoloured nails as well. If you do have discoloured nails, as long as it's not because of a fungal infection, it's very likely a harmless side effect of wearing dark nail polish. Using a base coat application on your nails before applying your nail varnish should keep your nails looking better.

If you’re inclined to opt for a more invasive treatment, dermal fillers with hyaluronic acid can help to smooth out the wrinkles and fine lines on the hands, and return some of the plumpness which will improve the skin's quality.
